lyrics

In order to remain in conversational cohorts
Pretend like you know those organized sports
Comment on the popular music of today
Crack a smile for once with no delay

To express my true inner thoughts
Imaginative scenarios complete loss
To blend in so they can't see that I'm not
An actual person, no feelings, no distraught

As I Smile and Laugh

Reality melts pending for collapse
Deadness in my eyes due for relapse
Sit and stare at my spot on the wall
Diminished structure never to fall
I live this lie
I live this lie
I live this lie____

When those years of youth
Faded in the past
Try to buy more sand
For your hourglass
Tears fall like confetti
On the Devil's parade
Tucked away, emptiness,
My masked charade
Sit and stare at the spot on the wall
Diminished structure never to fall
As I live this lie
As I live this lie

As I Smile and Laugh

Reality melts pending for collapse
Deadness in my eyes due for relapse
As I live this lie
As I live this lie
